Ingredients:
- Boiled Eggs
- 1 Tub Cool Whip (16 ounces)
- Gel or Liquid Food Dyes (I used these)
- Vinegar (see step 1 for more details)
Supplies & Equipment Needed:
- 9x13 Baking Dish, Cookie Sheet, or Muffin Pan
- Rubber Gloves
- Toothpicks
- Large Bowl
- Paper Towels
Instructions
- Place the boiled eggs in a bowl of vinegar and let them soak for about 15 minutes. Do not oversoak them or the vinegar will start to eat away at the egg shell. The amount of vinegar needed will depend on the amount of eggs you’re using and the size/shape of your bowl. I just get a big jug of vinegar and keep it on hand and fill the bowl until the eggs are covered, then store the egg vinegar once I’m finished with it, for the following year when we do eggs again.
- Rinse the eggs with cool water and let them dry.
- Spread the Cool Whip in an even layer inside the 9x13 pan or baking sheet. You can designate certain areas for different colors or do multiple colors in one area for a multi-colored egg. Just place a couple of drops of food coloring in each designated area on top of the Cool Whip and use a toothpick to swirl the color into the Cool Whip. You really can’t mess this up!
- Using gloves, roll eggs in the Cool Whip until completely covered, and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Rinse the eggs (do not rub) and place them on a paper towel to fully dry. Once dry, the color won’t transfer off of the eggs and the result is beautiful Easter eggs.
